Magnetic properites of the Heavy Fermion Antiferromagnets YbNiAl and YbPtAl
Measurements of electrical resistivity and Hall effect as a function of magnetic field on the Heavy Fermion Systems YbNiAl and YbPtAl are presented. Both compounds order antiferro magnetically and show metamagnetic behavior in a magnetic field. Scaling behavior of the magnetoresistance above TN suggests that the paramagnetic regime for YbNiAl can be described in terms of a single ion Kondo effect.
